I have never been to this part of Italy before, meaning Sicily. Arriving late at night, in the dark, I didn’t have any time to form an opinion before I crashed into a deep slumber after a long day of travel. When I awoke, I arose into an Italian fairy wonderland, something I was not …
Why yes there are! If fact I have come across three so far in my daily walk-a-bout towns. Now I’m not going to lie and say they are the most beautiful I have seen, but attract sun seekers they do. So, are there any beaches in Salerno? Here is what I have found. Spiaggia Santa …
Being a walker, I explored the area south of Tivat and stumbled onto a large public park. I kept to the shoreline and enjoyed the picturesque views of the bay and undisturbed coastline. After returning to my flat, I learned that this was Zupa Park and an abandoned renaissance mansion is hiding at its core. …
I decided it would be a good idea to go for a hike whilst I am surrounded by all of these stunning mountains. My goal was to reach Vrmac Fortress, but alas, those plans changed on a whim when conditions became unbearable. Instead, I ended up hiking to a church on Vrmac Mountain. Vrmac Mountain …
The city of Plovdiv was built on seven hills. Only six remain however, as one was used to create many of the roads we walk and drive upon today. I have made it my aim to climb each of the hills, and today I conquered another. The highest hike, Youth Hill is definitely worth the …

This is a fun day trip from Split and totally doable with ease. Taking the Jadrolinija ferry to Brac to visit the town of Supetar and explore the area is a lot of fun. I’m going to divide this day trip into two posts as the ferry information and pictures is enough on its own. …
What a fun day! I took a bus to an ancient city up the coast from Split, called Trogir. The city encompasses a small island and is sandwiched in between the mainland of Croatia and the Island of Ciovo. One of the main sights to see is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence and climbing the …
There are endless things to see and do in Marjan Park, a beautiful peninsula beside the city of Split. When I was down near the water, exploring the beaches one day, I looked up at the soaring cliff face above me. And what I saw was magnificent! I needed to explore that today, so I …
Today I went exploring! And what did I find? Playa Malpaso, the most pristine beach near Sayulita. And when I say pristine, I mean exactly that, it was extraordinary in every way. The route I took was from the beach in Sayulita. I have since read however that this is not the most recommended route …
